I am about to go to nappy time -- but since you and I are the only ones left, at this time of night (Lance will getting up in about 15 minutes !!), I will (God forbid) defend deegan on this. I have made this point eariler, I know, but if you are here on TT to figure out what we Protestants believe, then you would know that no one - including deegan -- believes that resurrection took place on or from the cross. That should go without saying -- emphasis on "without saying."
Kevins statement below is, in fact , a wonderful statement of truth. You want to know what Protestants believe? Well, on this single issue, Kevin has pegged the belief. No one I know would begin to consider to argue the point below -- and this includes the RCC with their many Christ-on-the-cross symbols. They have many more empty crosses than you might imagine.

The EMPTY Cross declares Jesus as the Son with POWER because he Arose!
DAVEH: That is what the empty cross represents to you, Kevin? Where did you come up with that story? I thought it was well understood by Christians that Jesus did not resurrect from the cross, but rather was taken from the cross and placed in a tomb. It is from that tomb that Christ arose. If you think he rose from the empty cross, you are teaching false doctrine.
